Question for those who have experience ordering an e90 in the U.S. Dealers in the Washington, DC area are saying to allow 8 weeks for an ordered e90. In your experience is 8 weeks (a) conservative; (b) optimistic; or, (c) about right?

I ordered two 330i's from Russel BMW. I ordered myn on May 13th and took delivery on June 7th. My sister ordered her's on May 23rd and will take delivery tomorrow. These were both special orders, not one already in production or in transit. Once the car hits the port they generally say 3-5 days if the car is Priority One. To answer your question, I would say 8 weeks is pretty much conservitive or optimistic.

I ordered from Northwest BMW on June 7th (Not D.C, but Baltimore- prettymuch the same thing for the sake of this discussion). My car arived in NY today 7/9. I am not sure when exactly i am going to take delivery, but I tam guessing 7-10 days, which should make the whole process more like 6 to 7 weeks.

Everyones expereince is a bit different though and there are anumber of variables that cant be controlled.
